What’s more, the company has also announced plans to officially launch in Malaysia. That’s plenty of big moves within such a short span of time.

Global domination, one step at a time

Xiaomi is eyeing more markets in Asia for global domination

But Xiaomi wants a bigger share of the pie. It’s eyeing regional markets such as Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, and India.

“We’re just about ready to expand to the rest of the region. Whichever is ready first, we’ll launch there first,” Barra said.

And Singapore was a good surge platform for Xiaomi to spread its name. “It’s a city state, not a massive country so we could take risks and test the market out on a small scale; plus it’s got a fantastic infrastructure ecosystem and it’s a window to the Asian region.”

Barra also added that MiTalk (Xiaomi’s messenger app) is an ongoing project, and a handful of “new and unseen” features will be rolled into it in the coming few months.

It's evident that Barra’s got many plans for Xiaomi’s pipeline, and we wonder if they'll “try to take over the world”. Cue Pinky and the Brain music please.
